Posted May 26th, 2008 by peter

Hitwise has released the latest statistics for search engine share in the United States for April 2008. Google has again hit a new high, jumping up 0.65% from the prior month’s high, to 68% of the US search market. Microsoft and Yahoo hit all-time lows — though Yahoo, at least, only drops by 0.1% further from its low last month. Microsoft dropped about 0.4%. Highs are based on data going back to August 2006.

The four major search engines stack up as follows:

• Google: 67.9%
• Yahoo: 20.3% (unrounded, 20.28%)
• Microsoft: 6.3% (unrounded, 6.26%)
• Ask: 4.2% (unrounded, 4.17%)
